Merry Monday: Get PINspired

The Merry Mommas are thrilled to be linking up with Sheaffer, Shay and Mel for their monthly PIN-spired post! (We are actually surprised we haven't done it before. We have now decided it's a tradition.) So, welcome! Especially if this is your first time visiting Your Merry Mailbox. We hope you love what you see and follow us along as we try to help you create your perfect Christmas cards!

Now on to that PINspiration.

Merry Momma K here... I was completely inspired by the thought of black, brown, and grey after reading about this glorious combo on PTMT last year. Y'all. Where have I been? LOVE does not do justice to how I feel about this combination. My inspiration pic is on the left and on the right is me (and my friend Traci) at a work event - I think I pulled it off nicely.

But I didn't stop there.

I bought black, brown and grey EVERYthing.

Life changed. Y'all - scope out your closets and count how many black, brown and grey items you have. A million, I'm sure. Now multiply them by each other and you will get the number of possible outfits waiting to be discovered in your closet.

We love the look of an oversized cardigan - its flattering and comfortable and makes a great statement. Finish the look with some simple jewelry and classic boots (thanks for the recommendation, Sheaffer, I LOVE them.)

We die over the tiny waistcoat, y'all. Rad wore one in our 2012 card and well, just go look for yourself how cute he was. Next is kind of our tiny secret in YMM world, so you are welcome for sharing that piece of paradise.

This Merry Momma believes that no set is to crazy, no prop is too big, and there is nothing that can't be fixed with some hot glue. She also guarantees that anything you need for a photoshoot can be found in her very own momma's attic!

Nordstrom should pay this Merry Momma for window design. All she needs is an idea, a color scheme and maybe a credit card and a perfectly put-together photo session will appear. And she is offering all that greatness to you right here!
